Union Home Minister Amit Shah will chair the 10th apex-level meeting of the Narco-Coordination Centre (NCORD) in New Delhi on Friday to review and strengthen the country’s efforts against drug trafficking and substance abuse.
Organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), the meeting will bring together representatives from Central Ministries, state governments and law enforcement agencies to enhance coordination in tackling the drug menace.
Shah will unveil the Narcotics Control Vision Document 2026-2029, which outlines measures to curb drug trafficking, tackle synthetic drugs and darknet networks, and strengthen awareness, treatment and rehabilitation. He will also release the NCB Annual Report 2025, inaugurate new NCB zonal offices in Jammu and Guwahati, and launch the Online Drug Disposal Fortnight Campaign to destroy around 2,09,500 kg of seized narcotics worth nearly ₹6,000 crore.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, the meeting aims to reinforce the Centre’s zero-tolerance policy against drug trafficking and advance the vision of a ‘Drug-Free India’. It will also review ongoing anti-narcotics efforts and set priorities for the next three years.
